Hi everyone, especially those who have just joined. It's great to meet you all. Congratulations to everyone who is working away at staying sober today and RAL and Deniedfish on their day 10 successes. Also to Kachal for taking the step to stop drinking for the first time. I can't tell you how much this forum has helped me and just having somewhere to go to share how you feel is an amazing thing. There is so much usful information on here that I'm sure it will help you as much as it has helped me.
I'm a bit flat today. Annoyed at being back to day 3. I am trying to keep my perspective in check and remember it was a slip for a day and I'm back again trying. I suppose what is underlying it all is that I'm scared that recovery wont stick this time. I just have to give it my all and keep on trying. My 15 days sober gave me enough space to give me a good start this time and haven't been wasted.
Good for you Rebecca, I think these kind of situations are really stressful and are difficult to say no too but staying at home sounds like a good idea. I made it eight months sober a few years ago and you do get used to socialising sober but, in my experience, it takes a bit of time to feel OK with it.
Thanks everyone for being here and I've loved the quote Healthygoals
